Forskolin:
Scientific studies relating to bodybuilding supplements have found that along with enhancing thyroid output and thermogenesis, forskolin is also a powerful anabolic agent. Those effects occur through elevation of 3,5 cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP); a second messenger important in hormone signaling.
cAMP elevation is fundamental in generating an anabolic and thermogenic condition, and forskolin is the best legal and safe compound available for triggering very significant increases in cAMP levels. One study (Litosch, 1982) demonstrated that forskolin raises cAMP levels in fat cells.
This is crucial because it demonstrates the ability of the substance to boost lipolysis; forskolin exerts powerful lypolitic effects as well as being a potent anabolic agent. One more added benefit of forskolin; it increases cAMP independently of adrenaline providing increased energy without the need to use any type of traditional stimulant like caffeine pre-workout and without the undesirable effects of stimulants.
Forskolin and Testosterone -- So how can cAMP increase anabolism?
cAMP is a crucial signal for steroidogenesis (testosterone production) in the Leydig cells of the testes, by increasing levels of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR). Enhanced StAR production is essential to achieve higher androgen levels, because it's a Leydig cells transfer protein and provides the building blocks for testosterone synthesis.
StAR activation is necessary for the stimulation of steroidogenic enzymes. Therefore, high cAMP levels also translates into higher levels of luteinizing hormone (the hormone responsible for mediating endogenous testosterone production), and when cAMP levels are enhanced, it acts as an intermediate in the signaling cascade that ranges from luteinizing hormone (LH) binding to testosterone production. By quickening the process, a resulting increase in anabolism and protein synthesis occurs.
A ground-breaking 2005 study in The Journal of Obesity Research found that men taking 250 mg of 10% forskolin twice a day for 12 weeks (slighty less than the amount found in the daily dose of BioForge Pro Max) experienced up to 33% increase in testosterone levels, averaged a 10 lbs. fat loss per subject and increased lean mass an average of 8 lbs!
A 2001 study by Badmaev also yielded similar results. A 1997 study in the The Journal of Urology found that forskolin can also aid in erectile dysfunction.
Fadogia Agrestis:
Recent university studies show that Fadogia Agrestis has the ability to significantly increase testosterone up to six times that of a control group.
A marked increase in testosterone may lead to:
- An increased sense of well-being
- Increased libido
- Increased muscle mass
- Decreased body fat
If you have tried other herbal test boosters such as tribulus or maca and been disappointed, BioForge Pro Max is guaranteed not to let you down! Those “old school” test boosters were nothing more than a boost in libido; they have failed at every clinical study proving they do not actually elevate testosterone.
Fadogia Agrestis works differently due to the unique ability to increase the productiveness of the testis through increased testicular cholesterol - the building block and direct precursor of testosterone.
Fadogia Agrestis naturally increases the sensitivity and production of the testis resulting in testosterone production cycles which are higher and naturally occurring.
Don’t take chances with any other Fadogia product! Only Biotivia and Omega Sports have been certified pure by the leading analytical lab in the country and is validated by an unprecedented level of very satisfied customer feedback.
7-methoxyflavone:
Aromatase inhibitors have been used extensively by the medical community as a means to reduce the amount of estrogen that is produced in the body from testosterone. Research studies have reported benefits in men using aromatase inhibitors, demonstrating lower estrogen levels and simultaneously causing an increase in testosterone levels. Therefore, the use of aromatase inhibitors have become common among bodybuilders and other strength athletes who want to maintain highest testosterone levels for maximum anabolic muscle-building effects, while reducing their estrogen levels.
Aromatase enzymes are part of the body’s biochemistry system that are used in the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. So, when aromatase enzyme activity is inhibited , this prevents conversion of testosterone into estrogen thus preventing the negative feedback loop in the HPTA (Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Testicular-Axis).
During the researchers constant effort for discovering a naturally occurring (7-methoxyflavone has been found in extracts from Meliaceae and Rutaceae plants) improved aromatase-inhibiting product, their attention was drawn to this compound. While several of these substances exhibited high aromatase-inhibiting activity, when it came to intestinal absorption and metabolic
stability in the body, it was determined that there was a clear grouping of the majority of flavonoids that scored low (Chrysin anyone?) and only a few that scored high. When subjected to independent research, it was determined that 7-methoxiflavone had one of the highest aromatase-inhibiting scores, with high intestinal absorption and metabolic stability in the body.
These characteristics are extremely important for developing the most effective naturally occurring aromatase inhibitor. Even if a substance has high aromatase-inhibiting activity, if it is poorly absorbed or unstable metabolized quickly in the body, it will be ineffective. Therefore 7-
methoxyflavone is the top choice due to its combination of characteristics required for maximum aromatase-inhibiting activity inside the body.
Flavones are plant chemicals known to be competitive inhibitors of cytochrome P450 aromatase with respect to the androgen substrate.
A welcome plus with the 7-methoxyflavone is that it's not only orally available and resistant to metabolism but unlike most flavones it's very selective, it inhibits aromatase but not 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
Optimal 17b-HSD activity is crucial for the endogenous testosterone synthesis. The 7-meth here shines again.
An interesting side note: forskolin increases the activity of 3b-HSD.
The 3beta-HSD complex is responsible for the endogenous conversion of:
- dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to androstenedione
- androstenediol to testosterone.
Biotivia is THE ONLY company getting its 7-methoxyflavone from Indofine Chemicals, the company which supplied the ultra-pure flavone for all the studies.
Cholecalciferol:
The bulk of this essential nutrient is made by the skin on exposure to sunlight. The rest comes from the diet.
A study in Clinical Endocrinology journal of 2,299 men, found those with enough of the vitamin had more of the male sex hormone than those with less, plus:
- Blood levels of both dipped in the winter and peaked in the summer.
- Low testosterone levels can impact on a man's libido as well as zap energy levels.
- It also performs essential functions in both men and women such as maintaining muscle strength and bone density.
Men who ensure that their body is at least sufficiently supplied with vitamin D are doing good for their testosterone levels, their libido and their bone mass among other things.
The researchers from the Medical University of Graz, Austria, found men with at least 30 nanograms of vitamin D per millilitre of blood had much more testosterone circulating than those lacking in vitamin D.
Across the 2,299 men studied, testosterone and vitamin D levels appeared to peak in the month of August, and drop off in the winter, hitting their lowest levels in March.
Several animal studies also show a solid and unequivocal correlation between vitamin D3 status and LH/Testosterone levels. Over the past decades the researchers have also discovered a positive role of Vitamin D3 on fat loss and increased muscle strength.
Suggested dosage is 1 cap three times a day on an empty stomach, 20-30 minutes before meals.
